The puppies are 3 weeks old...

Hi Everyone!  The puppies are three weeks old now and getting big.  I took them over to visit my mom and dad the other day.  These pictures were taken there. 

They are just huge!  All their eyes are open and their starting to get a little more active.  Although they slept most of the time we were at my parents.  But when I went home for lunch today, they were active!  They were rolling around with each other and one was pulling on one of the others ears.  Of course I didn't have my camera handy.  I'll try to take some more pictures tonight and post them.

Bo and the puppies...

Hi Everyone!  I just had to share this picture of Bo sticking out his tongue.  Isn't he cute!  Bo got his first glimpse of the puppies last night.  Bailey let him look in and he just stood there with his ears up and his head cocked to the side looking at them.  But you can be sure that his nose was working over time trying to get a good sniff of them.  He has been a good boy about the whole thing.  He hears the puppies and will lay at the closed door with his nose to the crack under the door when Bailey is in with the puppies but doesn't try to push his way in. 

Plus I think he's enjoyed the one-on-one time with me that he's never gotten since Bailey was here first.  Well, thanks for stopping by.

Two weeks old...

Hi Everyone!  The puppies are getting big!  They are two weeks old now.  It's rare for me to ever see them all piled together like this.  Usually to get them all in one shot I have to move them together, but I got lucky and they were all close together.  This picture makes them look like black labs, but it's the lighting.  They are most definitely chocolate labs.

 I couldn't pass up taking a picture of this guys face.  Don't you just want to snuggle him?

 Last night I took the puppies over to see my parents.  This is my mom holding one of the girls.  The two girls are starting to open their eyes and peek out a little, then they close them up tight.  Any day now.

I took them over to Mom and Dad's in a box and brought them home in a laundry basket.  None of my baskets were big enough so I used the largest box I had, but it was almost to small for them, so my mom sent us home with one of her laundry baskets.  Thanks Mom!

Well, thanks for stopping by.  I'll add their two week old photos to the puppy page.

Look at those ears...

Hi Everyone!  The puppies are growing and getting pudgy.  When they were born their ears were flat to their head and now some of them are starting to stick out.  I just had to show you because I thought it was cute.

 Look at that face.  The eyes won't be opening for another three to seven days.

 I just love how they climb all over each other, trying to get in the right position.

 And look at these ears...I just had to chuckle and take his picture to share with you.  Don't you just want to pick them up and snuggle.

 I can't wait until they are up and moving around, that's when the real fun begins.

 And this one always seems to be away from the group.  Maybe she doesn't like to be climbed on...

But these four like to be together.  And the one at the top is trying to snuggle under the blanket.  Sometimes I go in to look at them and can only see three of them so I know I have to check the blanket to find the others.  If you're interested in a puppy, let me know.  Thanks for stopping by.

Gaining weight already...

Bailey and her pups are doing great.  And Bailey is a great 1st time mom.  Here's a picture of her with her pups after they were born. 

And here are the pups at five days old.  It's a subtle difference, but they are gaining weight.  You can tell their bellies are fuller.  I was just sure they were gaining weight so I put them all on the scale as a group.  When they went to the vet on Thursday, they weighed as a group almost 6 1/2 pounds.  As of yesterday, they weighed 8 1/2 pounds.

Aren't they cute?  If you're interested in a puppy, contact me.  I'm going to start advertising them soon.  I'll keep you updated on their growth and progress.  Thanks for stopping by.

First Vet appointment...

Bailey and her pups went to the vet yesterday.  Everyone checked out good and the dew claws were removed.  The pups weighed in at 1 pound to 1.4 pounds.  So no runts in this litter. 

My folks went with me to the vet so that they could see the pups and lend a helping hand.  Bailey was very good about letting the pups out of her sight but was very glad to get them back.  When we were all done, I put her in the car first and then the box with the pups in and she immediately removed the blanket from the top of the box and put her head in to check on them.  It was the sweetest sight. 

The Puppies have arrived...

Bailey had her puppies last night.  It was a long night, but all are doing well.  She has three males and two females.  All five are chocolates.  We will be going to the vet to have everyone checked out, but they all seem healthy.  I have added the puppy pictures to the puppy page.

 It's time for some rest now.

Thanks for stopping by.
